Earl Jackson is an old hand at manufacturing right-wing outrage. In January 2009, he went ballistic after President Barack Obama, speaking during his inauguration, made the non-controversial (and rather obvious) point that Americans hold many different religious and philosophical beliefs.

The Religious Right, while it makes up a significant portion of the GOP base, doesn’t speak for the majority of Americans. As a political movement, it could be finished off tomorrow if more Americans went to the polls.

Under the guise of religious freedom, this executive order further entrenches the Administration’s policies to allow religion to discriminate.
